Viviers-lès-Montagnes : Groupiac castle

Neo-classicism influenced this house designed by the architect Jean-Pierre Laffon. The two main facades follow the same design. The input facade consists of three levels, divided into seven sections. On a base with three doors, small rectangular windows and stone benches, large arched windows open with wrought iron support. Above, there are simple rectangular windows. The levels are separated by headbands. The top floor is embellished with a row of small windows grouped by three, distinct from the lower level by a corded pattern running throughout the facade. The southern facade is identical, the fitted doors being replaced by French windows to adapt to the terrain. Inside, the first level includes service parts, the second houses reception parts and the third contains the rooms. Traffic is done by a large wooden staircase located to the west. There are some stucco decorations and 18th century style chimneys.
